Corpus Christi meteorologists are warning of a high risk of dangerous rip currents along the mid-Texas coast even as Irma has been downgraded to a tropical storm.

According to the National Weather Service Corpus Christi forecast, there will be coastal flooding impacts at 10:21 p.m. Monday in Port Aransas and 9:39 p.m. at Bob Hall Pier on Padre Island.

A coastal flood advisory is in effect for Nueces and Kleberg counties until early Tuesday, according to a news release.

"Astronomical" high tides will continue to rise over the next several days. This combined with swells from Tropical Storm Irma will lead to the high risk of rip currents along Coastal Bend beaches and flooding up toward the dunes.

Laguna Shores Drive in Flour Bluff and North Beach are two of the lowest sections in the area that become impassible during coastal flooding, the release stated.

As of 9 a.m. Monday, both north and south beaches on Padre Island National Seashore were open to driving, according to its Facebook page. But officials do caution drivers to be aware of high tides.
